This argument is not very convincing, since grade inflation is also real in Germany, even though education is free here. I actually think it comes down to the fact that everyone feel that the middle class is in decline, which creates a more competitive environment and makes grades seem more important, so people work harder on that (which is not to say that others were lazy before - just maybe not optimising for good grades).

It may also have some relation to weather a university is marking its students against each other or against criteria, if there is a bar to be passed, maybe the use of grades is irrelevant. Its should just be pass/fail, no other metric attached.
